With its cutting-edge cloud-based technology, the ICAODEHMote effectively tackles the problem of automated overheating detection in electric heaters, offering enhanced performance and dependability. It is made up of linked parts and procedures that provide accurate and reliable overheating detection in electric heaters. First, the electric heater's MLX 90614 Temperature Sensor is placed in a strategic location inside to continuously check the heating element's temperature. This sensor offers accurate and real-time temperature readings, providing crucial information for identifying overheating situations. The STM32 Board, the ICAODEHMote system's central processing unit, receives the data that the MLX 90614 Temperature Sensor sends it when it suspects an overheating situation. In order to verify overheating, the STM32 Board evaluates the temperature data and compares it to predetermined thresholds or algorithms. The STM32 Board triggers the Actuator Module to start the electric heater's shutdown sequence as soon as an overheating event is verified.
The Actuator Module is in charge of controlling the heater's mechanical parts. It performs functions like cutting the supply or turning on safety features to prevent the heater from heating any further. The STM32 Board relays the overheating alert to a dedicated cloud server designed for this breakthrough in tandem with the NuttyFiWifi Board and GSM Modem. This cloud server acts as a central location for gathering, archiving, and evaluating data pertaining to the performance of electric heaters that have ICAODEHMote technology installed. Transmitted data is processed, analyzed, and presented by the cloud server using an intuitive interface that can be accessed via a mobile application that is tailored to the user's needs. Operators can get real-time data, trend charts, and vital notifications about the health status of their electric heaters by logging into their accounts through the mobile app. Proactive monitoring and intervention in the event of overheating incidents are made possible by the integration of IoT-based cloud technology, which establishes seamless connectivity and communication between the operator's mobile device, the electric heater, and the ICAODEHMote components. By doing this, safety precautions are strengthened and potential harm or mishaps with electric heaters are reduced.
BEST METHOD OF WORKING
1. To enable automated detection of overheating in electric heaters, the ICAODEHMote is outfitted with an STM32 Board, NuttyFiWifi Board, GSM Modem, MLX 90614 Temperature Sensor, Actuator Module, Indicator, and Power Supply. It also boasts real-time temperature monitoring, cloud-based communication for timely alerts, and seamless integration with a customized mobile app for operator intervention.
2. To ensure remote monitoring and intervention capabilities in the automated overheating detection system for electric heaters, the NuttyFiWifi Board, which is integrated into ICAODEHMote, is used to enable wireless communication. This facilitates the transmission of real-time temperature data and overheating alerts to a customized cloud server and operator's mobile app.
3. The GSM modem connected to ICAODEHMote serves as a backup communication channel for SMS overheating alerts to the operator's mobile device. This ensures redundancy and dependability in the automated electric heater overheating detection system, particularly in places with spotty or intermittent internet access.
4. The temperature of electric heaters is continuously monitored by the directly integrated MLX 90614 Temperature Sensor, which provides real-time data essential for the detection of overheating situations and initiates automated shutdown protocols to prevent damage or risks.
5. The Actuator Module interfaced with ICAODEHMote is used to trigger electric heater shutdown sequences upon sensing overheating situations. It guarantees timely action to avert potential harm or risks and notifies operators via the cloud mobile app for intervention.
